Wish my life wasn't so boring.

Don't be fooled by the illusion that they are having the best times of their life. I am in college and was a part of the frat bar scene and it is the most morally bankrupt lifestyle I can imagine. They may pretend they are having fun but really they are all completely empty. I can't tell you how many times I have had to listen to late night cocaine-induced personal confessions about how miserable they are. Don't get sucked into that lifestyle, because college is only 4 years and its not worth getting into bad habits for the rest of your life.

I felt the same way you did when I was a freshman in college. All those hip 'party people' love to brag about their 'exploits,' as if this were somehow the ultimate fruit of one's fleeting and happy youth. I can assure you it is not. Go ahead and hit some campus 'keggers' if that's what you believe will make you happy. You'll quickly be introduced to hangovers, sleep deprivation, vomiting, existential confusion, a lower grade point average, and other such vivid pleasures.

I'm in the exact opposite situation, all my friends do is party and it just doesn't interest me any more. And the "Laid" part: im 23 and don't know what its like to even be with a girl never might getting laid.

WHEN I was one-and-twenty, I heard a wise man say, Give crowns and pounds and guineas, But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies, But keep your fancy free.
But I was one-and-twenty, No use to talk to me.
(A. E. Housman)

Throw a party yourself.

this shit is extremely overrated. you dont need to party and get wasted to have fun.

Its normal. Find fun, make what you've got fun. You say you go out and eat with you're friends, then make it fun. You can go out and eat with friends and perhaps dress up elligently and find a decent resturant and tae pictures. You don't need to be like everyone else to have fun.

I like to drink & get plastered every now and again, but if you have something real don't surrender yourself to drinking. Anyone can go out and get drunk. It's impersonal. It's fake, and so many people can fall into that crowd so easily that they're uninteresting without it. As long as you expand on what you have rather than throw it away you'll be ok. Meaning meet other friends, get wasted but still keep your current friends closer.

I was in that boat too. I wanted to do stuff like that two, but only one of my friends was into that and her free time was restricted because she had to take care of her son most of the time (which I'm glad she did :) ).

Sometimes it is that great and sometimes it's not. I recommend joining a society that you're interested in since societies often get together to have fun as well as help others with their majors (for example, if your major or interest is anthropology look for the anthropology society). Societies give you a chance to make new friends who are in the same ship as you. :)

You need to convert your friends into going out to bars.... once they start they will luv it!!

F**k this party sh*t. Learn how to pick up girls YOU WANT and get laid on your own. Pick up girls wherever, whenever you feel like it then. Read some dating guides. But remember to also put your mind to it.

College parties sux - clubs - bars - etc. Always the fights. Too much goddamn drama and freaks.

this means you have to go out and seek others that do things that agree more with what you want, i find myself in this situation too, but my friends aren't boring, i am the boring one....haha

There's nothing stopping you from going to parties by yourself. If those are the kinds of friends you're after, you can quickly make them there.

Honestly though, I'd say you're better off with your party-free friends.

I used to party all the time untill i found out more about my religion, and now i am following it and am living nicely. Yes i am a muslim and i dont drink, and life can be so much more than just "partying". All my friends party and drink but i dont, once in a while i go with them in a party but i never drink. So you dont have to think about others lifestyle it doesnt matter, just focus on school and be something to be remembered about in this world!

You might want to find out what motivates you and keeps you happy by taking a personality test like The Color Code by Taylor Hartmann. I think it helps to understand ourselves and our own needs, which may be different from our friends and family members. When I was growing up with a family where everybody was super-conservative and religious, I couldn't understand why it all put me to sleep and frustrated me so much. I know this theory would make them think I'm a terrible person, but I'm starting to think even religious belief has to do with personality.

i am glad to see im not the only one who feels this way. let me tell you something about this topic...
ever since i turned 15 the goal was to get fux whores and get wasted. smoke blunts and get drunk everyday.at 18 my friends and i started a "party company" throwing parties out in the desert/ rental housews making mad skrill. going to a different party every weekend by selling drugs to fund the trip(weed, coke, x, cid, scripts). by age 20 i was addicted to heroin. i didnt give a fux about anything but getting wasted. i met a lot of moraless people who did terrible things i wont even post on this site. then one day i just decided i had enough enough and completely isolated myself. family only. got back to the things i love to do - race motocross. slowly i started going out again and made a new circle of friends. they also liked to party but mostly alcohol not alot of hard drugs. it was cool for about a year but i realized these people are just destructive. all the money, time, and potential in the world and they just want to do the same bs all the time. it sux to do it but i had to stay away. hanging with party people is not cool. i would much rather go to the track and ride my mx bike or take my jet skis to the river every weekend. its hard to find people that actually do that stuff but i dont care. i just want to do what i love to do. jet skis and dirtbikes. partying and one night stands will never satisfy my soul

I'm your own age and I feel bored about my life too, but I think partying isn't our main problem;
there's even a french phrase for this:
"Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"

It means that it doesn't matter what we pretend to be to be happy, we'll be still unhappy about ourselves anyway.

You need to set yourself goals, try to change old habits for new ones, try to meet new people; live you own life at your own pace, don't try to live anyone else life, you'll only get overwhelmed.

having a little fun every once in awhile is cool but u dont need to party every weekend especially if ur in college or u will not be likely to pass. fun every once in aehile is just as good and not as bad for ur health

I'm exactly like you ... I used to like going to the beach alot with my friends... But, It doesn't interest me much now.. but, when i tell anyone else about my summer vacation .. they always go like.. how come you're bored then? But, I think I just need to do something new with my friends. I wouldn't want to waste my life drinking anyway..

its perfectly normal just that when you do deside to be more eventful dont take it to an extream you cant handle
